Urgent: Since update RC5.1 form no longer working

jvince 05 Jun, 2009
Hi,
I updated to RC5.1 and now although form still displays, on submit I get this error message:

There is no form with this name or may be the form is unpublished, Please check the form and the url and the form management



This is a live site, so how can I fix please?

Many thanks,

- Vince

Hi Vince,

is the form loaded inside an article or in its own page ?

On it's own page.
Also may be worth mentioning that 2 other forms previously created using the CF wizard do not have this issue since the upgrade to RC5.1
Thanks

hi Vince,

then this looks like a form issue, what do you have in the onSubmit code or the submit url textbox ?

ah, one important note, if your form name has any characters other than A-Z or a-z or 0-9 or _ then it will not work, whats your form name ?

JHi Max,
My form name has '-' in it, same as all the format for SEF URL's on this site.
I have now changed it to no '-' and it works fine.
Why allow '_' underscore in names but not '-' dashes??

But it worked before upgrading to RC5.1 🙄

Many thanks,

Hi Vince,

I don't know if there's a new problem with dashes in RC5.1 - before that the main problem was with database column names. ChronoForms didn't quote them all correctly and MySQL objected to the dash in unquoted names.

Hi Vince, Bob,

in RC5.1 the form name is filtered so that it should only have A-Za-z0-9_
